Wolves coach Rick Adelman announced his retirement at a press conference on Monday.

Adelman has compiled 1,042 victories during his 23-year career as an NBA head coach, which ranks No. 8 all-time. His teams made it to the Finals twice but never took home the ultimate prize, much like contemporary colleagues George Karl, Jerry Sloan and Don Nelson. The Wolves have big shoes to fill when looking for their next coach, especially since their success or failure next season could impact Kevin Love's decision as a potential free agent in 2015.

Rick Adelman will not be coaching the Timberwolves next season, as he and the team are said to be preparing a mutual agreement to depart ways.

Adelman's wife has had some health issues and he has other priorities right now. It sounds like Flip Saunders could possibly return to the bench, but more than likely, he'll hire someone else to coach the team. We here that former Wolves legend Sam Mitchell is still available.

It's being reported that Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman is expected to opt out of the final year of his contract with Minnesota following the conclusion of this season.

According to a report from ESPN's Marc Stein, Adelman "has convinced more than a few folks in team circles that he's going to invoke his right to opt out of the final year... and step away for good this summer." With the Timberwolves set to miss the playoffs yet again this season, perhaps Adelman is growing tired of "developing" players. Adelman is a Hall of Fame shoe-in as one of the NBA's most winning coaches of all time (currently ranked eighth with 1038 wins) and if he is to retire, the Timberwolves organization, and the NBA as a whole will surely miss him.

Coach Rick Adelman will not be with the team for personal reasons, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Coach Terry Porter will run the show tonight and should handle things like Adelman. The Wolves' rotation was a total mess on Saturday due to Kevin Love (quad) being out, so it should be interesting to see how Porter handles the minutes at the shooting guard, small forward and power forward spots. We'll pass along the info on Love's status as soon as it is available. Mon, Feb 10, 2014 06:04:00 PM
